Watertown DPW Tire Drop Off

Tire Drop Off Day for Watertown

Tire Drop Off Day for Watertown

Watertown DPW Tire Drop Off  Nowadays you really have to think about how to dispose of unwanted items.  Inconvenient – but a good thing if it makes us think twice before acquiring something.

Disposing of tires is a tricky one.  If you’re not interested in making a flower planter cut from a discarded tire – and I don’t see too many of those around the city – there’s just not that much to do with your old tires.

For residents of  Watertown there’s a solution – a tire drop off day planned for this weekend.  Only tires will be collected – no rims.

Free of charge and open only to Watertown residents.  An ID showing proof of Watertown residency is required.

The tire dropoff is scheduled for Saturday, May 8, 2010 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Watertown Public Works at 124 Orchard Street.

Watertown MA 2009 Real Estate Market Review

Welcome to the Watertown Real Estate Wrap-up

Welcome to the Watertown Real Estate Wrap-up

Watertown MA 2009 Real Estate Market   Finally – the year has come to a close and it’s possible to do a year end wrap-up of the real estate market in Watertown.  2008 figures are included for comparison.  The report includes sales that were listed in the MLS, the Multiple Listing System.

The percentage of year-to-year change is included in parentheses. 

As you’ll see, fewer properties sold in Watertown in 2009 than in 2008 – more than 10% fewer.  Was that because properties were harder to sell in 2009?  The numbers seemed to suggest that wasn’t the case – on average properties sold a bit more quickly in 2009 and the spread between asking price and sale price didn’t change.  The median sales price for Watertown properties barely budged..

Looking at the numbers of properties that failed to sell – that “expired” as we say, shows that more properties failed to sell in 2008 (120) than in 2009 (109).

It seems that the decline in numbers of properties sold occurred because fewer properties were listed for sale in 2009.  Reasons why fewer properties were put on the market include sellers who are able to wait and think they’ll get more money for their home some time in the future and homeowners who are unable to sell at a price that works for them and choose to stay put or rent their home.

After the annual sales info you’ll find the stats for December 2009.
